I work in psychology because for many years my self-esteem was at rock bottom and I had difficulty setting boundaries.
No one taught me to listen and consider myself.
And I have suffered a lot emotionally.
I don’t want anyone to stay in suffering because they don’t have the tools or guidance to show them the way out.
My work consists of helping you learn to prioritize yourself.
Because if you do, little by little, most of the problems you have right now will disappear or become much more manageable.
Prioritizing yourself encompasses many things, such as:
-Learning to value yourself
-Setting boundaries without feeling bad
-Giving yourself time and personal space
-Reducing self-criticism
-Looking at yourself with kindness
-Etc.
And that’s what I can help you with.
I had a tough childhood.
My father had problems with alcohol, and my mother was too busy trying to get my father to change.
Luckily, my sister, 7 years older than me, and my dog played the role of parents.
Yes, my dog too. 🙂
My father would go overboard with his insults, devaluations, and threats, and my mother… didn’t set boundaries.
None at all.
So, unfortunately, my mind normalized the situation, and by the time I was a teenager, I started having relationships where my boundaries were crossed, and I couldn’t do anything about it.
I felt completely stuck.
At 19, with the help of a therapist, I started looking inward instead of outward.
And in all these years, I’ve learned many lessons.
For example:
-That my inner dialogue is one of the greatest treasures I can cultivate.
-That value and respect start with me.
-That my demanding or critical thoughts are what make my life bitter.
-That my sensitivity is part of my identity and is wonderful (though sometimes I need to protect it from the insensitive beings living on this planet).
And that my life is chosen and created by me.
I went from being last on my list to being a priority.
And one of the things that helped me the most in this entire process was setting limits.
- On myself
- And on others
Therefore, today I want to give you a very practical guide so that you can start setting limits today.
